¹H NMR of Conformationally Flexible Molecules: Temporal Resolution00:52

¹H NMR of Conformationally Flexible Molecules: Temporal Resolution

1.3K
At room temperature, the chair conformer of cyclohexane undergoes rapid ring flipping between two equivalent chair conformers at a rate of approximately 105 times per second. These two chair conformers are in equilibrium. The rapid ring flipping results in the interconversion of the axial proton to an equatorial proton and an equatorial to the axial proton. Such interconversions are too rapid and cannot be detected on the NMR timescale. Hence, the NMR spectrometer cannot distinguish between the...

¹H NMR of Labile Protons: Temporal Resolution

Protons bonded to heteroatoms such as nitrogen and oxygen exhibit a range of chemical shift values. This is due to the varying degree of hydrogen bonding between the proton and the heteroatom in other molecules. The extent of hydrogen bonding affects the electron density around the proton, thereby giving different chemical shift values for the protons in the proton NMR spectrum.
The –OH proton in alcohols typically appears in the range of δ 2 to 5 ppm but can vary depending on the specific...

Protein Dynamics in Living Cells

2.8K
Different fluorescence-based techniques are used to study the protein dynamics in living cells. These techniques include FRAP, FRET, and PET.
Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Structural Biology
  • Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy

Background:

  • Protein conformational dynamics are critical for biological function, influencing enzymatic activity and molecular interactions.
  • The microsecond-millisecond (μs-ms) timescale of conformational exchange is particularly relevant for these processes.
  • Understanding these dynamics requires advanced biophysical techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a comprehensive NMR methodology for characterizing μs-ms protein conformational exchange.
  • To enable the accurate extraction of multiple exchange parameters, including the sign of chemical shift differences.
  • To provide an accessible approach for studying protein dynamics in solution.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing R1ρ relaxation dispersion profiles with varied effective fields and tilt angles.
  • Employing fast magic-angle spinning (MAS) on perdeuterated, partly back-exchanged proteins.
  • Complementing R1ρ data with chemical-exchange saturation transfer (CEST) NMR experiments.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated the ease of obtaining comprehensive R1ρ relaxation dispersion profiles.
  • Successfully extracted multiple μs-ms conformational exchange parameters.
  • Determined the sign of chemical shift differences between ground and excited states, a previously challenging parameter.

Conclusions:

  • The presented NMR approach offers a powerful and accessible tool for detailed characterization of protein μs-ms conformational dynamics.
  • This method enhances our understanding of how protein dynamics relate to function.
  • The ability to determine the sign of chemical shift differences provides deeper insights into protein conformational landscapes.
